Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: Hot Commodity
The ancient martial arts that he cared deeply about were being questioned, and Xiong Gang’s face immediately fell.
“Haven’t you heard of Inner Strength?”
Yang Yilian had just walked in and instantly fell speechless upon hearing Xiong Gang’s statement.
“The problem is, Inner Strength doesn’t exist either. What age are we living in now? Do people still not understand human anatomy? How could such supernatural powers exist?”
“Then how do you explain this girl saving people?” Xiong Gang asked, full of displeasure.
Huaxia’s history is long and its culture profound, so it wouldn’t be impossible for Inner Strength and Qinggong to exist.
Many phenomena are inherently unscientific and inexplicable.
Moreover, Inner Strength is not without trace; there have been historical records.
Take for example the story of Empress Bao killing someone by playing the zither and single-handedly challenging an army of ten thousand. He didn’t believe it was merely legend.
There must be some basis for it, which is why it was recorded.
Seeing that Meng Songbai and Yang Yilian did not believe his words at all, Xiong Gang’s expression turned sour.
“Many parts of Huaxia culture are beyond scientific explanation, like the acupoints in Chinese Medicine. Can you see acupoints? Can you see points one by one after human dissection?
Does the scientific inability to prove the existence of acupoints mean that they don’t exist? Where does acupuncture come from, where does acupoint massage come from?
Do you dare say that Chinese medicine is also a fraud?”
Ding Heqiu, the Minister of the Ancient Medicine Department who had just walked in, “…”
Was he getting caught in the crossfire while lying down?
Meng Songbai and Yang Yilian were speechless; Chinese medicine is certainly not a fraud!
Many theories in Chinese medicine indeed cannot be verified scientifically. Acupoints are quite mystical and can’t be seen with the naked eye.
Unlike blood vessels or muscle tissues, they cannot be seen through the naked eye or microscope as specific images.
Acupoints are inherently abstract, and only exist within Chinese medicine.
They can’t be proven scientifically, which is why Chinese medicine is viewed by Westerners as fraudulent, branded as pseudoscience.
But as Chinese, they naturally understand that Chinese medicine is real!
And it has miraculous effects!
A highly skilled Chinese doctor can even achieve miraculous results, like raising the dead, so to speak.
For instance, Empress Bao of the Great Xia Kingdom, bringing the dead to life and rebuilding flesh!
These have all been recorded in history.
Unfortunately, Chinese medicine is too profound, with many precious medical techniques lost over time.
Ding Heqiu hugged a bunch of medicinal herbs, peaceably saying, “What are you guys talking about, don’t drag me into this.”
He hated getting into arguments with others and would rather keep company with medicinal herbs.
Xiong Gang let out a cold snort and stopped bickering with Meng Songbai, “I’m going to find out who that martial world expert is. From the video, it seems to be a young girl; there aren’t many such outstanding young girls around these days.”
If she isn’t brought into the Ancient Martial Arts Department, it will be a lifelong regret.
This line about an outstanding young girl clearly struck a chord with some.
Yang Yilian and Meng Songbai exchanged a glance, their expressions turned cold simultaneously.
Then they both averted their gaze, acting like old friends yet somehow enemies.
“Old Meng, Sister Yang, what are you two doing?” Xiong Gang asked.
Meng Songbai’s expression was gloomy, “She’s stealing my recruit!”
Yang Yilian wasn’t pleased, “Hey, hey, hey, what’s with that? Xia Weibao isn’t a member of the Calligraphy Department, how can you say I’m stealing your recruit.
It’s her freedom to choose which department she wants to join.”
“Didn’t you see her calligraphy is so good? Naturally, if she likes calligraphy, she’d join the Calligraphy Department.”
